Lineups is the plural of lineup.
A lineup is a group of people or things arranged in a row or sequence.
In law enforcement, a lineup presents suspects for identification by witnesses: The victim picked him out of a police lineup.
In sports, a lineup is the roster of players starting a game.
The term extends to any scheduled sequence: Tonight's lineup includes three new shows.
